Looking Back

If I were to look back at last week, I would have to rate it as a 10. But since I am no longer looking back, I can't do that. Ok I will digress for just a moment. Last week was outstanding. Everything I touched, seemed to turn to gold. I couldn't begin to list all the positive things that happened to me so you will just have to trust me that it was a wonderful week.

I owe it all to the changes I have made in my life. First off, I am eating right. No I am not dieting, I am just eating properly and because of that, I am loosing weight. I am taking my vitamins regularly too and that is helping. I am getting more sleep so I am wide awake when I get to work. Now that I am getting more sleep, I am cutting back on my caffeinated coffee some more in hopes of getting down to a safe level. Ok I did have that Starbucks on Saturday but I felt I deserved a little treat. I am not letting work get to me and I was actually able to walk away from a situation that needed attention on Friday. Things worked themselves out and everything is ok this morning. I was able to spend my time at home and because of that, enjoyed some monetary gains. I have quit worrying about things too and I am letting things take their course and because of that, I have much less stress. I think I am finally relaxing and enjoying life. Oh well better get moving. Time for my morning reading. Have a wonderful day everyone. Looks like it will be a great week.

Oh I did always want to own a farm and may one day.

We did a healthy change in eating habits a couple years back due to my husband's increased cholestrol and we all lost weight as a result. We didn't eat after 7 pm, really watched the saturated fats and trans, ate whole grains, and watched our portion sizes. I know we really felt better and my husband's cholestrol dropped 100 points.

Hey Grandpa, What's for Supper

Image
Were havin fried chicken so crisp and hot, With tatters and gravy make sure and take a lot. There’s green beans and fatback and biscuits with butter, And cold cold milk, straight from the udder. And fer desert, get ya some pie, There’s sweet tater, apple and of course yer favorite shoo-fly. YUMMMM YUMMMMM Hee Haw was one of my father’s favorite shows. He loved it for the ummmmmmm music. Or so he said. This morning, I was thinking about what to have for supper. A couple of things came to mind. First there was some chicken in the refrigerator but I remembered Salmonella and decided not to fix that. I bought a beef roast yesterday but now I am having second thoughts because of possible Mad Cow Disease. I could always make a salad but we might get e-coli from the lettuce. Ok the only thing left is water but with all the mercury and arsenic in water these days, maybe I will just sit quietly and breathe. I just hope there isn’t a smog alert. Then I thought why not just go out for dinner. The...

Pictures from Wadmalaw Island. Martins Point plantation as it stands today. (site of "The Notebook") Bohicket Creek. Shrimp boat at Rockville. If you are coming here from the "Time" article, please feel free to look around. I didn't find out until today that they used a link to my blog. Welcome. Very quickly, My wife and I got married at this plantation. It is right around the corner from where we live now so if you have any questions about it, feel free to email me and ask. In a few days, I will post some more photos of the house. I wrote an interesting story about the plantation as my last post. Check it out by clicking here . Thanks to my son, Gregory for taking the pictures. He is making a power point presentation for Irving House Winery. You can see it if you come for a wine tasting.

The legend of Flat Stanley (A Horror Story)

Image
There are a few things in life that upset me: Spiders, rude people, unruly children and spilling my coffee to name a few. But nothing gets my blood boiling faster than hearing the name Flat Stanley. On the surface, Stanley sounds like something innocent, but I am here to tell you that he is evil and has the power to tear your family apart. Flat Stanley was the brain child Dale Hubert, a third grade teacher from Ontario Canada. Back in 1995, he decided to start this project to inflict pain on unsuspecting parents and students as well. The concept is simple: You take a picture of Flat Stanley and decorate it. Then you cut it out and there you have it….Flat Stanley. Then you send it to other people and they take stupid photos of them with Stanley or you take him on vacation with you in order to ruin your vacation and Dale should be shot or better yet put in a pot of boiling oil and slowly fried and tortured and and and Ha Ha….Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha….Whahahahahahahahaha Sorry this happens every ti...
